Slawek Wojtowicz

    Slawek Wojtowicz grew up in Gdansk, Poland, before immigrating to the U.S. in 1990. Now a doctor of internal medicine specializing in cancer treatments, Slawek has had a fascination with science fiction since he was a kid. He was active in the Gdansk Science Fiction Club and used to create illustrations for the club's newsletter.

    Slawek published a collection of his incredible work called Daydreaming: The Art of Slawek Wojtowicz. Fellow artist Donato Giancola says that "stepping into the worlds of Wojtowicz is an ecstatic pleasure as he melds the plausible with the fantastic."

    Slawek credits a childhood accident for helping him to create such stunning visuals as an adult.

    "I nearly lost my eyesight in an accident when I was 15 years old, so my art work is a celebration of the wonderful gift of sight," he explains. "I celebrate sight with my art, but my art or 'my daydreaming' also keeps me feeling alive and hopeful. I hope my book and its images will transport people into a dreamlike realm but at the same time deepen their perception of the universe and render a bright picture of what we will become."
